3 Polar Exploration Books Catalogue ROSS Welcome to my latest polar catalogue my 18 th since 2006! I hope you enjoy looking at the variety of polar material we have to offer. I have separated Arctic from Antarctic books and have three different sections in this catalogue as follows: Pages 4 to 21 Antarctic Books Pages 22 to 34 Arctic Books Pages 35 to 38 Polar Ephemera This time I have changed the format a little and devoted a page to various men and expeditions, each with a classic title listed. There are pages on Amundsen in the Antarctic, Bruce and the SNAE, Frank Debenham, Ross Sea Party, Douglas Mawson, Scott s Discovery Expedition, Sir John Franklin and Sir William Parry. All the other books are listed in author alphabetical order. Clearer, colour pictures of items in this catalogue can be seen in the online version available to view on our website If the book you are looking for is not in this catalogue, then please get in touch as we do have many other books (and items of ephemera) not listed here. Please let us know if you would like more details about the content or condition of any of the books. Images can be ed if required. Happy reading Paul Davies * Many books sell very quickly therefore so it is best to ring or straight away, then Andrea or I can reserve them for you. * Because of the costs involved, we regret that if you do not place an order after receiving three issues of our catalogue we will no longer be able to send it to you, unless you specifically ask for it. 3
